Alcor is a different kind of EOR partner.

They're built for tech companies scaling across borders with deep expertise in Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Alcor combines employer of record services with tech recruiting, helping you choose the right country, find and assess engineers, and onboard them in days, not months.

Nearly 85% of what you pay goes straight to your engineers.

Alcor's fee decreases as your team grows, and you can always bring the team in-house with zero exit fee.

That's why Silicon Valley startups, including Five Unicorns, work with Alcor.

So then from that point, right, when you've got the technology, the MVP built, I'm curious about how you went about progressing and maturing the product.

And you kind of touched on it a little bit, but I want to wrap that in a box a little bit and say, how did you build your roadmap?

How did you go about deciding that, okay, this is the next most important thing to build or to address with Crisp?

So how did you build your team?

How did you go about finding, you know, the right people to come help you with this?

And what did you look for in them to indicate that they were the winning horses to join you?

If you're responsible for reliability, performance, or platform architecture, you already know the problem.

Telemetry volume is growing faster than teams can manage it.

Mesmo addresses this by moving observability upstream.

Instead of storing everything and asking questions later, Mesmo processes telemetry in motion, filtering, transforming, and enriching logs, metrics, and traces before they reach your observability backend.

The result is cleaner data, reduced ingestion costs, and faster root cause analysis using the tools you already rely on.

Mesmo integrates with platforms like Datadog, Dynatrace, and Open Source Stacks, giving teams more control without adding operational overhead.

This is especially useful for platform engineers and SREs supporting complex, distributed systems where context and speed matter.
